Description

Almost four decades have passed since the generalization of vacuum Kerr solutions to higher dimensions in the form of Myers–Perry black holes, yet an exact solution generalizing their charged extension (Kerr-Newman) to higher dimensions remains unknown in Einstein-Maxwell theory. In this talk, I will discuss this issue from the viewpoint of the (generalized) Kerr–Schild class. Time permitting, I will also briefly comment on the problem of charging multi-NUT solutions in higher dimensions.
